Wait a few months for them to find the glitches and fix it. Then buy/get it. But eventually, yeah.

Pretty sneaky of them to hold that announcement until

after the election.

Guess I know will be boycotting Pfizer going forward.

And to give you a serious answer, not yet. A for profit drug company making an announcement about in house trials is not enough but it encouraging that Pfizer wasn’t one of the companies that sign on to the fast track litigation protection agreement so you gotta feel like they will be pretty careful.

they ended up waiting until they had about 3 times

as many people positive than their original plans to start announcing effectiveness. They have 94 positives originally they were going to report at 32 and then 62, but they waited. They still have to get to 164 total before they submit for final approval.

Should be quick with 100,000 a day getting covid.

They claim they will have 50 million vaccines by the end of the year.

Swarley,

I might deliberately wait a bit to give those who need it more a chance to get in line before me.

'I will not take his word for it': Kamala Harris says she would not trust Trump alone on a coronavirus vaccine

Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris said that President Donald Trump's word alone on any potential coronavirus vaccine is not enough.

I agree. I would not take just Joe Biden's word for it either. But I would listen to scientists and doctors who specialize in such things. And i expect that when Joe finally announces that the vaccine is ready for wide distribution he will have a number of experts to help make the announcement and explain what is going on.
